What is an atom?
Smallest part of a chemical element
What is a molecule?
A group of two or more chemically bonded atoms
What is an element?
A pure substance that can’t be divided into smaller parts
List the 4 main parts of daltons atomic model
- All matter is made of atoms
- All atoms of the same element are identical
- Atoms of different elements are different
- During chemical reactions, atoms separate, combine or rearrange to form new substances
What are elements located to the right of the step-like line called?
Non-metals
What are elements located the left of the step-like line called?
Metals
____ are elements possessing properties both of metals and non-metals
Metalloids
Why are substances like H2O and bronze not found on the periodic table?
Because they’re considered molecules since they have more than one element
(True/False) an atom is divisible
True
(True/False) an elements chemical symbol always starts with a lowercase
False
(T/F) an elements chemical symbol is the same in every language
True
(T/F) An elements chemical symbol always have 2 letters
False
(T/F) the periodic table sorts the elements based on their atomic number and their physical and chemical properties
True
(T/F) Hydrogen belongs to its own group. It’s a one of a kind element
True
(T/F) Molecules can be created by combining the same element or different elements
True
(T/F) all atoms of the same element are identical and have the same mass and properties
True
What does daltons atom model of H2O look like?
Two small circles of h with a big circle of O connecting them like a triangle
Why is dihydrogen called a molecule?
A molecule has 2 or more atoms, dihydrogen has two, meaning its a molecule
What is physical change? Are they reversible?
Transformation that doesn’t change the chemical composition or the characteristics of a substance. Considered reversible
Name 4 physical changes with an example for each
1) phase change(ice to water)
2) shape change(ripping paper)
3) preparing a mixture( adding food dye to icing)
4) separation of a mixture( using strainer to remove food from water)
What is a chemical change? Are they reversible?
Transformation that change chemical makeup of a substance, therefore altering its characteristic properties. Considered irreversible
